Apple Tart Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp lemon zest (untreated)
- 21 oz apples
- 5 oz apricot jam
- 1 oz walnut halves
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 oz raisins
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- to taste powdered sugar (for decorating)
How to Prepare the Apple Tart
You can prepare the shortcrust pastry by hand or with the help of a mixer. Mix the butter in small pieces with the sugar and flour in a bowl. Add the flour and the grated zest of half an untreated lemon.
Knead quickly and well until you have a soft but not sticky dough. Form a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest in the fridge for about an hour.
Soften the raisins in a bowl with hot water. Peel and clean the apples. Cut 2/3 of them into small cubes and the rest into thin slices. Place the apple cubes in a bowl. Add the sugar, chopped walnut halves, drained raisins, and cinnamon. Mix.
Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a floured work surface and line with it an oiled or parchment-lined 9.5-inch pan. Prick the bottom with a fork.
Spread the apricot jam on the shortcrust pastry base. Pour the prepared apple filling, distributing it evenly. Now arrange the apple slices around, overlapping them.
Sprinkle with brown sugar and let the Apple and Raisin Tart bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (static mode) for about 30 minutes. Let it cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

Loredana’s Tips
You can prepare the shortcrust pastry in advance and store it in the fridge for 1-2 days, or you can also freeze it
The tart can be stored in a container for 2-3 days, although over time the base tends to become moist due to the presence of apples and jam
